So after coming back to play stormblood and having to slog through tons of pre questing just to even see stormblood, I am told that apartments were added at some point when I wasn't paying attention. And at only 500k a pop..I was on my over for finally a place to use all my stored furnishings and such.

Wait nope scratch that... despite apartments being totally instance, squaresoft hates us and only has 100 apartments per company, on a server with many thousands of people.

There is no other excuse except that squaresoft hates its user base and loves to watch them suffer, that BS like this happens.
